The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
S & H HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Anemone Japonica 
“Rock Plants’ 7 are designated 
with this character^. 
The strongest practical argument in 
favor of hardy perennials is the fact 
that once planted, they continue year 
after year with no further gardening 
concern beyond cultivation, cutting 
qnd thinning. 
Beautiful in a thousand types and 
expressions, embracing every color 
shade and pattern within the knowl¬ 
edge of man, it needs only a little 
thought, study, and art sense to so 
select types and associate colors, that 
the perennial garden will become a 
vivid, glorious, living adventure in 
beauty and self-expression.
